When you see people over 40, what do you notice? One of the things you might see is the expanding midsection. If you are over 40, you may have seen the belly fat slowly creep up. Even if you exercise and eat right. I hear many people say that it's inevitable. It's too hard to [...]

Squash, Pork and Lentil Stew
These last two weeks have been a doozy. I'm tired. A class then a week long exercise. I used a lot of meals this week. Time to get more in the freezer. I'm glad I'm not travelling until May. I don't think I will be home much that month. Travelling by plane is also getting [...]
Sheet Pan Cookie Cake
I'm slowly but surely going through my freezer. There's a lot of food I have forgotten about. I found a spiral sliced ham. We haven't eaten ham in a long time. There's a ton of frozen asparagus. Tony was eating a ton of it, then stopped. Not sure why. This Sunday I am making a [...]
Mexican Turkey Soup
I forgot to take a picture for this post. Oops. I am cooking a whole turkey this week. Thanksgiving was kind of bust. Which means I had a couple of turkeys left over. I am also looking at thinning out what I have in the freezer to make room, just in case my mother in [...]
Lower Carb Banana Bars
Things have been doing much better these days. My mother in law is less argumentative and distracted. I have also been starting to pinch hit taking care of her so Tony can get some things done. He plans on taking a trip soon and I am ready to take on full time care while he [...]

Losing weight has been something that has required patience. It has also happened by using some better tools. I have been using [...]
Lower Carb Double Apple Blondies
Wow, this week was brutal. I swear I barely had time to breathe, let alone get anything done. Nothing is on schedule. I am getting up earlier just to get everything done. The one thing I won't compromise on is making sure I get a workout in. I've been getting up some mornings at 3:45am [...]
What’s for lunch
I don't have a dessert recipe this week so I thought I would share my current lunch recipe. This is what I eat most days when I am home. It's healthy and filling. It also make a large portion. No skimpy portions here. You can also find these ingredient very easily. Nothing fancy. You can [...]
Lower Carb Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
This week has been busy. I had to take a three day training on incident command. It's one of the courses I would like to teach in the future. I already took this class as well as some of the other prerequisite classes that are needed for the train the trainer class. The problem is [...]
Lower Carb Pumpkin Latte Coffee Cake
I hope everyone is starting their new year off right. I made only one resolution this year. That resolution is to use my vacation time. I'm not one to take days off. Not because I have some fetish for working all the time. There just doesn't seem to be the need. That's not an excuse. [...]
